Installed 2004.
The tiles were made in China and construction was by specialists from that country.
A shortened version of a famous glazed tile wall in Beijing's Forbidden City.
Although meant as a focus of community pride and as a tourist attraction, the wall serves as a protective influence with nine imperial dragons.
